"I don't like people being demanding, pushy and rude. I try to avoid people who thinks it is a natural part of daily communication," the former mayor writes. "I don't like the thought of thus becoming a part of the pitiful and lousy culture of Icelandic politics culture." Jón says that he cannot let his family tolerate that.
